You're right, it's not rocket science, but as you suggest it, it would

The two model railway groups I'm a member of, where the treasurers and
membership people live at opposite ends of the country, have found that
accepting modern payments saves them a lot of hassle. They do still
accept payment from Luddites, but I'd not be surprised if in another
couple of years they impose a surcharge on cheque payments. One of them
accepts card payments online and paypal, the other hands out its bank
sort code and account number so people can do BACS.

You're obviously not that interested in being a member if you can't even
manage to raise a cheque once a year.

You mean that the organisation doesn't care much about its members if it
insists on them using such antiquated and inconvenient methods. Perhaps
more importantly, it doesn't care about its officers if it makes them
traipse to the bank every few days to hand over silly pieces of paper.
